Movie Reviews of Xanadu
Movie Review: Xanadu is excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this movie originally. It has all the things a teenager needs to enjoy a movie, great music, beautiful people, and most important, it is a tale with a happy ending. The guy does get the girl, and things do go right. There is already too much misery in the world. A lot of these so called reviewers seem to forget that movies were not supposed to be reality. They were supposed to pick your spirits up, bring them down, and get you to feel some emotion. This world is already at a point where nobody wants to feel anything, I say forget the impossible, enjoy the fantastic, and let the disbelief stay where it belongs, in real life. Your kids will love this, and if you can spend 90 minutes trying to be a kid, you will enjoy it.
Summary of Xanadu
A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-'70s glitter-ball trendiness, and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film doesn't even work as decent kitsch. --Tom KeoghMusicals & Performing Arts DVD Video
